.To all whom t may concer-fnI f Be it known that I, 4Dr. KALe TURBEVILLE, a citizen of the United States. and resident of Roanoke.'in the county of Randolph and .State of Alabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kitchen Cabinets, of which the following is a specitication.

This invention relates tokitchen cabinets especially adapted for receiving and sup'- porting a variety of articles.

An importantobject is to provide a kitchen cabinet having a compartment for the reception of fioul', meal and the like, which compartments are automatically locked when the cabinet is lowered.

A further object is to provide a kitchen cabinet which is dust proof, and desirable in use.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent' during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawing forming this part oi the application and wherein likevnumerals designate like parts throughout the same,

Figure-1 is a perspective of the improved cabinet.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view through the cabinet.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal section through a telescoping member employed to limit the opening of the lid.

Figure 4 is a plan view of an article supporting rod embodied in the invention.

Figure 5 is a detail sectional view' illustrating a lock embodied in the invention.

In the drawing the numeral 5 `generally designates the improved cabinet which consists of spaced-upright inner and outer walls 6 and 7 respectively vbetween which a pair of bins -8 are arranged. The sidewalls 6 and 7 form a pair of compartments within which the bins; are located and by reference to Figure 2 it will be observed that each bin is gradually reduced toward its lower end Zand is provided with a bottom wall 10 curved transversely for engagement b `a transversely extending rod or pin 12. Ihe transversely extending'rods of which there are two are joined with the side walls 6 and 7 and detachably support the bins. 8. The top 13 of the cabinet is 'provided with depending stop elements 14 arranged in the path of travel of the front and rear walls of the bin whereby to limit the swinging move- CABINET.

ment of the bins. However, when it is dei sired to entirely remove one of the bins 8 ,it is merely necessary to swing the same to its outer position as illustrated in dotted lines in Figure 2 and subsequently elevate the bin so that the same is removed from engagement with the rod 12. The front wall of each bin extends down below and conceals therod 12.

As illustrated in Figure 1 a lid or cover edge and top 13 and isprovided with side and end walls 17- and 18 respectively. The top of the lid may be rovided on its inner 16 is hinged as indicated at 19 to the rear.

side with alphabetical ists of various foods and ingredients thereof and also with various recipes. of the cover forms a convenient mea-ns for supporting recipes and the` like in view of the person usin the cabinet. When. the person is using t e cabinet the cover is lelevated s o that the recipes applied to the inner side of the cover may be readily and con- I veniently seen. l

The recipes are so located that they are at all times handy and c-annot become lost.

The end Walls 18 of the cover or lid 16 are provided adjacent their forward ends with depending pins 20 adapted to pass through openings 21 in the cover 13 and engage..'tl1e Walls of U-shaped notches 22 in the upper edges of the side walls of the bins 8. When the pins 2() are engaged with the side walls of the bins in the manner illustrated in Figure 2 the bins are prevented from being moved outwardly to the position illustrated in dotted lines in Figure 2.

The cover 6 is provided with a depending catch 27 adapted to be engaged by the locking member 29- of a lock designated by the numeral 29. With reference to Figure 5. it will beobserved that the operation of the locking member 28 will en age the catch 27 for locking the cover in t e position illustrated Vin full lines in Fi ure 2. The. lock 2S) is carried by a center rawer 30.

. lt is thus seen that when the center drawer is locked, the cover 16 will also be locked should the same be lowered and the pins 8 are also prevented from being opened.

'lhe top 13 is provided with an article supporting rack 30 having a plurality of openings 31 ot' various sizes and shapes to receive receptacles and food supporting jars and containers. It isobvions, thatjsuch containersas sugar.V containers, lard and salt con- It is thus seen that the inside soV . rear end of the tubular member 34..is proi vided with a i 41 supported by rollers titl 4walls and an article supporting sleeve 38 gradually reduced toward its lower end to limit the rearward movement of the head 35. The lower end of the tube 34 is connected to the top 13 by means of a bracket 39 while the rear end of the rod 36 is connected to the cover 1G as indicated at 40.

ln the manufacture of the improved cabinet the same may be provided with legs 42 and the legs may be rovided with liquid containing receptacles 43 which when filled with liquid will prevent ants, etc., from gaming access to the food carried within the cabinet.

With reference to the foregoing descrip* tion taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be apparent that a cabinet constructed in accordance with this invention will greatly expedite the preparation of various dishes as practically all of the ingredients of the dishes will be within convenient reach. The top 13 may be used as, a iour board orfor the purpose of supporting crocks and pans when pre' paring food. v
